Sune Luus: South Africa Women's Captain and Spin All-Rounder

Sune Luus is one of women's cricket's finest all-rounders and a key figure in South Africa's rise as a women's cricket nation. A right-hand batter and off-spin bowler, she has captained South Africa Women and been a consistent performer in international cricket since her debut in 2012.

International Career

Luus made her T20I debut in 2012 at age 16. Over her career she has scored over 2,000 T20I runs and taken over 100 T20I wickets, making her one of the few genuine all-rounders in the women's format. Her bowling economy and batting strokeplay have developed considerably under the professional era.

South Africa Women's Rise

South Africa Women reached the semifinals of the 2023 T20 Women's World Cup and have become a competitive force in world cricket. Luus's leadership has been central to this rise — her ability to lead through performances rather than words has created a culture of improvement in the South African setup.

CSA Connection

Luus has been central to Cricket South Africa's efforts to grow women's cricket through the domestic competition structure and SA20 women's development pathways. Her profile helps drive interest in women's cricket in South Africa.
